🎉 Tomorrow is Giving Day!
The University of Tulsa Department of Anthropology & Sociology is hoping to raise money to support students and community engagement projects. Money will be used to support student awards, service learning projects like Tar Creek and refugee resettlement through Every Campus a Refuge, student conference presentations, excavation opportunities, and more!

If anthropology or sociology shaped your life, consider giving in honor of a beloved professor like Jean Block, Susan Chase, Ron Jepperson, Lamont Lindstrom, Peter Stromberg, or Mike Whalen—or in memory of Garrick Bailey, Don Henry, Barry Kinsey, or George Odell.
